Future Humanities, Volume 4, Issue 1, May 2026.ABSTRACT This paper presents a close‐hearing analysis of Forest 404, a transmedial audio drama that was released to BBC Sounds in 2019. Despite the drama's eco‐dystopian critique of teleological ‘progress’ narratives (that enable and perpetuate the destruction of the natural world), I argue that the series ultimately propagates a sense of inevitability

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 7, 3 February 2026.This review introduces the concept of “general curvy surface reconstruction,” which incorporates both geometric and physical dimensions, representing an upgrade over conventional geometric reconstruction that focuses solely on spatial relationships. Particular emphasis is placed on the emerging opportunities enabled by advanced measurement techniques ...

Intermittent Gliding in the Hunting Flight of the Kestrel, Falco tinnunculus L. [PDF]
, 1983 The hunting flight of the kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) consists of short bouts of flight at wind speed against the wind with the eyes in a fixed position relative to the ground, and of short flights from one such position to the next.

Nonlinear Aeroelastic Effects in Flapping Wing Micro Air Vehicles [PDF]
49th AIAA/ASME/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference <br> 16th AIAA/ASME/AHS Adaptive Structures Conference<br> 10t, 2008 A nonlinear aeroelastic model for flapping micro air vehicle wings undergoing prescribed rigid body motion and moderate-to-large flexible deformation is presented. The aeroelastic model is obtained by coupling a nonlinear structural dynamic model based on the MARC code with approximate unsteady aerodynamic loads.

International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with flying wing designs offer unique advantages in terms of maneuverability and fuel efficiency, but achieving precise control over these tailless aircraft can be challenging. This study investigates the potential of notch leading edge (NLG) technology to improve the effectiveness of control surfaces in flying wing UAVs.

Research on Independent Reference Model–Based Anti‐Interference Control for Quadrotor
Journal of Control Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.The quadrotor is vulnerable to internal model parameters uncertainty and external airflow. In order to guarantee that the quadrotor tracks the reference signal quickly and smoothly under the influence of external airflow interferences and internal parameter uncertainties, an independent reference model–based anti‐interference control algorithm was ...
